LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 6, 1838. In our columns of this day will be found several very important communications, illustrative of the ope ration of the Abolition of Slavery in the West Indies, furnished by that indefatigable friend of the coloured race JOSEPH ' STURGE, to which we earnestly invite the attention of the people of England. It is mani fest that a large body of the planters repent the facility with which they yielded to the pressing entreaties of the British emancipationists ; and that, unless they are restrained by the coercive power of the Crown, they will eventually kindle in the Colonies the flames of a civil n I-. Rather than allow the free negroes a fair remuneration for their labour, several managers of plantations in Jamaica are, it appears. determined to suffer them to go to ruin, in order to revenge tll:rnselves by the starvation of the coloured race. De:i-oniac freaks of this kind must be restrained by the.~garm of the law, should they fail to be csuili,.:;,.:ntly checked by self-interest, and the wholesome influence of public opinion. Where it can be done, we think there ought to be a complete removal of the agents, overseers, and attorneys who superintended the labour of the negroes when in a state of slavery. The past career of such individuals—the scenes of which they were wit nesses—the cruelties which they necessarily were obliged to inflict—the callousness of their feelings—. and the depravity of mind engendered by the tyranni cal superintendence of gangs of men and women, whom they were wont to regard as mere beasts of burden, mus' unfit them for directing the labours of freemen, and especially of men over whom they so recently exercised an absolute authority. The oppressed may forgive and forget their wrongs, but the oppressors never can pardon the innocent objects of their brutality. We trust that such of the planters as are absentees will see the necessity of acting without delay upon this sug gestion. To preserve their estates they can take no step more effectual—none which will mani fest a stronger desire to conciliate the negroes ---than to replace the old slave-torturing race of whites, by men whose moral principles have never been perverted by an acquaintance with the horrors of the lash, the tread-mill, and the slave-dungeon. There possibly may be among the planters a few in dividuals foolish enough to imagine that, by driving the negroes into a state of open insurrection, the Im perial Legislature may be brought to re-enact the laws for the continuance of slavery. Now, if there be an individual who so thinks, we beg to assure him that he indulges one of the most preposte rous delusions that ever crossed the brain of a Bed }amite. The emancipated negroes are now on a footing of political equality with the planters them selves ; and of the rights which they have acquired no assembly in the world dare attempt to deprive them. All they demand is a fair remuneration for their labour, and that they are fully justified in insisting upon without subjecting themselves to a charge of contumacious idle ness. Should, therefore, any disturbances unfortunately take place in Jamaica, the planters will have to pay the penalty of countenancing the proceedings of such petty tyrants as Special Justice M'LEOD, and Tull- NER, the late slave-driving attorney. There seems to be a general conviction abroad that the settlement of the long-pending dispute between the SULTAN and the Viceroy of EGYPT is either at hand, or that its adjustment must inevitably follow events now in the progress of rapid development. We are, therefore, not surprised to find the public Journals in England, France, Germany, and the few Papers pub lished in the East, all expounding the views which respectively they would persuade France and England to take, upon an affair so momentous to the interests. of Western Europe. While one party would persuade us that .MEHEMET ALI is a subtle tyrant—the op pressor of Egypt, the tool of Russia, and a rebel in arms against his lawful Sovereign ; another would have us believe that he is a prodigy of benevolence, patriotism, enlightenment, and far-seeing statesmanship. While Mr. HOLROYD labours to convince us that Egypt was never in a worse condition than it is at the present moment —that its population are everywhere, poor , ignorant, and oppressed, the abject slaves of the Viceroy, whose will is law, and who is himself a stranaer to the rudiments of enlightened ci vilization, HASSANAINE AL'BESUMEE, a native of Egypt, residing as a student in this country, under takes to prove that MEHEMET ALL is a most zealous Reformer, and that under the system which his High ness has established, and is now carrying on, Egypt must eventually rise to the dignity of a powerful, in dependent, and enlightened nation. In all the main points of this controversy we espouse the side of .the advocates of Egyptian independence under its pre sent Ruler. To argue that Egypt is as barbarous and ai governed nor. as it wa s ui *, er sway the helameluke Beys is to betray a most lamentable ignorance both of the past and present state of the ancient monarchy ef the PHA ROANS. MEHEMET ALI has done more to uproot religious and national prejudices among his subjects—to give security to life and property—to protect the persons of strangers tra velling, or temporarily residing, in his dominions—to foster the growth of free institutions—to encourage learning--to promote a knowledge of the arts, lan guages, and literature of other nations in the domi nions subject to him, during his short reign, disturbed as it has been by " wars and rumours of wars," than ever was accomplished by any Sovereign of England since the days of ALFRED. Perfect freedom is not the growth of a day, or even of a century, in any country ; and therefore if evils be pointed out in the administration of the Government of Egypt, let it be remembered that England, which has been progressing in civilization since the accession of WILLIAM of Normandy, has still some distance to go before she can challenge the w..nld to point out any absurdity in her social institutions. Before us is a pamphlet written in our own language, by a born subject of the Pacha, sent here for the express purpose of attaining with it a knowledge of our arts, literature, and civil and social institutions and manners ; and we know lat in France, Germany ; and Italy, there are Egyp- tian Neophytes no less intent upon making themselves denizens of these countries, with a view to the ultimate regeneration of their native land. HASsANAINE ALT ESUMEE assures us, and we know the statement to be strictly correct, that the Viceroy has planned a system of female as well as of male education; and is even in the course of subjecting to it the female members of his own family. The teachers are Englishwomen ; and, from an extract from a letter from the principal, Miss HALLIDAY, dated March, 1838, we learn that the number of females of the Vice roy's family with whose instruction she was then charged, exceeded a hundred. One of the Paella's Mi n i s t e rs officially t‘aited upon this lady to acquaint her with MEHEMET ALI'S intentions, and to express to her his Highness's entire approbation of certain specimens of needle-work executed by her female pupils. The same Minister likewise addressed a letter to Miss HALLIDAY on the subject of his visit, in which we find the following just and enlightened ob servations :—" I congratulate you on the opportunity offered you to extend the blessings of instruction to the highe't families of this benighted country ; for it is very probable that the exhmple of the Pacha's own Harem, will be followed by the Court, and thus be made to extend gradually throughout the whole country. It is impossible to foresee the vast results which must proceed from the introduction of education in the family of the Prince." After making the lady an offer of the " Ilolack Printing Press," and the ser vices of competent translators, for the publication, at the Government's expense, of English, French, Ger man, and Italian works, into Turkish and Arabic, the Minister thus concludes his observations upon fe male education :—" In instructing the mind and the body in those innocent, useful, and varied occupations which are the peculiar employment of females, we enable them to escape those dangers and misfortunes which are induced by the disorders of ignorance and idleness. Habits of industry, cleanliness, order, and economy, by increasing domestic happiness, will not only tend to make us better beings, but will also secure to our children that maternal education which is per haps the most important provision which can be made for after life in this narrow world, and without which no succeeding effort to obliterate the evil impressions received in early youth, can be effectual." As we stated above we lean to the side of those who are for re-establishing the throne of Egypt, though, per fectly aware that, in this view of the question, we stand opposed to the views at present entertained by the Governments of France and England. That the throne of the Osman is weakened by the nominal dependence of Egypt, is a fact capable of being sus tained by arguments the most irrefragible. The Porte, for upwards of a cntury, has ceased to derive any advantage from Egypt, except the amount of tribute paid into the Imperial Treasury, and the question able gain resulting from the appointment of Go vernors, who, knowing nothing of the state of the country, and regardless of the sufferings of its miserable inhabitants, plundered and oppressed them without limitation and without mercy. Egypt, in fact, was the normal school of Turkish tyranny in the East. Its population were no better than slaves, and so debased, that MEHEMET Am was compelled to have recouse to a compulsory system of conscription in order to force them to bear arms in their own defence. Their improvement since that period has filled Europe with astonishment; and we are persuaded that one of the best steps that could be taken to restrain the ag- gressions of Russia in the East, to consolidate the real power and independence of the SULTAN, and to facilitate the progress of civilization in India, would he 'l3 recognize the independent sovereignty of MEHEMET ALI in Egypt. A 5 our view of this question is by no means a general one, and not likely to meet with tho countenance of the Cabinets of Western Europe, we shall take an early opportunity of endeavouring to sub stantiate its accordance with the true principles of European, and more especially of British policy. d o v f c T o s h uf from o d l a i h a a d v r e i d allof the bee 2 n 7 r teh ceived, together with The Paris JouThals a ult. The contents of the French Journals Are very unimportant. Oa the evening of the 26th the Spanish 'War Minister convoked a meeting of Officers of the National Guards of the capital, at which he explained to them the reasons by which the Ministry had been induced to sanction certain changes in the army; after which he intreated them to co-operate with her MAJESTY in maintaining the peace of the city and its environs. A circumstance so unprecedented has added considerably to the general excitement, and so far has been productive of results the very reverse of those contemplated by the Cabinet. A Correspondent of the Temps calculates that the Mexicans have already lost 18,000,000 francs by the ' blockade ; and that the European merchants in Mexico have lost, exclusive of the loss of mercantile houses in Europe, 11,600,000 francs. that thte toll The Chamber of C ommerce of H avre h av i ng requ ested French (Pr:ge) be 75 cen ti mes or t o 37i centimes on steamers, coming f rom t h e E ng li s h possess i ons , with out regard to the nature of their cargo , the President of the Board of C ustoms has informed the Director of the Customs at Rouen, by a letter dated 28th September, that the Minister of Pinar:cc having approved of the proposal, he is to give orde rs f or i mmed i ately carrying it into efrect It is to be observed th at t h e English steam-boats are to . enjoy the benefit of this regulation in all cases in which, ac cording to the Treaty of 26th January, 1826, they arc to be treated on the same footing as French vessel L S.- C _ C oni merce.

Merino's infantry was gone to Durango, to receive new clothing. Carreoa has taken his prisoners to Luecano. The Cure of Dallo has sur prised, at the Baths of Aronedillo, forty-two wounded Christino officers, who were there for the recovery of their health. The burning of Guevara was only partial, but seven houses were destroyed by the flames.

The day has passed for the heavy bill payments, which took place on the 4th instant, and we are happy to state, they hare been duly honoured. The business doing yesterday in the foreign exchanges was not to any great extent. The great dearth of intelligence has damped the specula tions in the British market, and during the present week the extreme fluctuation in Consols has been, fur money, from 93i to 94 1 3 / 4 ; for the Account, 94k, alternately buyers and sellers.

The Dublin Evening Post states that the London Journals were received at Dublin on ThurAday in TWENTY TWO itotts. The Post-office " Express" mail occupies twenty-eight and a-half hours in going from London to Dublin. A DESIRABLE PROPERTY.—A large number of persons was summoned on Thursday by the officers of the several parishes within the Uxbridge district for the non payment of the amount of poor-rates assessed on them. )lost of them were very poor persons. A man named Henry Phillips was summoned for a rate, amountin g to 2d , for a " coach-house, stables, and land in the parish uf Hayes." Phillips said the coach-house had no roof, the stable had lost two of its side walls, and the land was a mere swamo or boa., being under w ater half the y ear . The Oversee, ,tated r , that had the property been in a better condition it v, old have been much higher assessed, and the Bench or dered the defendant to pay. On Thursday seven very fine deer, the property of Sir C. Constable. Bart., arrived here h a travelling caravan, on board the Yorhshireman steam-packet, from London. W e understand they arc of a particularly fine and swift breed, and are likely to give our sporting 'riends, who have been so forte. ! .ate as to hunt with the Burton Constable hounds, a g oo d breathing. —l l Observer. The attraction of the B a y aderes at the Adelphi is unprecedented. In these f ew ni g hts the y hav e been witness d by Prince Esterhazy and family, Baron Munchausen (Han). verian Minister), Count Sebastiani, the Duke of Brunswick, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, the Marquis f Douro, Lady Burgherah, Baron Lionel Rothsebili, and Lpdy ; Lords A.

THE PENSION LIST. _ . It has been frequently said that if you wish a Der son to live for ever you should bestow a pension upon him. The following passage from the letter of Mr. Finlason, Government Calculator, will satisfy our readers that the powers of this elixir vitec, in confer ing perpetual youth, have not been overrated :—" It is certain that the females have understated their ages very cons id era bly, an d some times with a contempt of all probablity. Thus, more than one, lady has set down her age at 39, forgetting that she has been 45 years in receipt of the pension, and this from an aver sion to own the age of 40 !" REDUCTION OF THE PENSION LIST.— Ac cording to the calculations of Mr. Finlason, the Pen sion List, which at present amounts to 139,9511., will, in 1843, be ,reduced to 112,120/.; in 1848, the amount will be 78,9171.; in 1853, the amount will be 53,1001.; and, in 1858, twenty years from the present time, it will be reduced to 34,8771 , being 104;8741. less than it now is. GUILDH.ALL.-(THIS DAY.) REMANDED CASES.-Sir P. LAURIE inquired if there were any remands beyond thin week. rOneos(‘s flt,i,e,hch oifficsetrod over. s o iu o t , imated that there were two or thee ,a Sir P. LAURIE hoped there were very few. He knew there were one or two where the prosecution would not go on, but it was very desirable that the cases brought for ward daring the week should be concluded on a Saturday, because it was one of the charges against the Aldermen that the person who heard the second part of a case did not know what had taken place previously. Mr. PAYNE said that was generally done. Sir P. LAURIE said that in future he trusted that cases which were brought forward during the week would termi nate on a Saturday. HORSE-STEALING.—James Smith, who was committed a week ago, on a charge of horse-stealing, was again brought up charged with another similar offence. John Gray, servant to the Rev. Mr. Canning, of Els den, 1 - ?,sex, deposed that on the sth of September, about nine o'clock in the evening, his master had a bay gelding the stable, which was missed the next morui , :g. John Seymour, clerk to the Mount Fitchet Association for the Prosecution of Felons, deposed that on learning that the horse had been stolen, he issued handbills, offering a reward of 10/. The horse was not heard of until the 24th or 25th September, when it was seen at Stourbridge Fair, in the possession of Mr. Parish. William Parish, of Bury St. Edmund's, deposed that he purchased the horse of Mr. Hipper, on the 10th September, at Harlow Bush Fair, for 22.1., and had him now in his possession. James Hipper, livery and stable keeper, and horse dealer, of 51, Cowper-street, City-road, who sold the horse to the last witness, deposed, that he bought him on the 7th September, of Robert Hedges, omnibus proprietor, for 1:2/. les. 6d. Robert Hedges, of 49i, Edmond -street, King's cross, proved that he bought the horse at Mr. Dixon's sale, for nine guineas. Francis Duke, clerk to Mr. Dixon, deposed that the horse was brought to the Repository on the 6th of Septem ber, and booked in the name of Thomas Ford Lane, of Romford. He was sold to a person named Watts at the sale, and immediately afterwards transferred to Mr. Hedges. On Tuesday, the 11th, a note was brought by a porter, bearing the same signature, and the proceeds were paid to him. He knew the prisoner, from having brought two mares, which had been proved to be stolen. They were booked in the same name, and the order to pay the money vvas in the same hand-writing. Herasfield, the officer, said that be had made inquiries at Romford, and ascertained there was no such person there as Thomas Ford Lane. The horse, which was in the Guildhall-yard, was iden tified by the servant of Mr. Canning. Thomas Laidler, the porter alluded to, proved that Ee had been sent by the prisoner for the money, to whim lie paid it. The prisoner was then committed for trial. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Bennett Johnson, who was remanded on a charge of having embezzled money, the property of his employer, was ?gain brought up. Mr. William Collin Smith, Solicitor, of John -street, Adelphi, deposed that the prisoner was in his employ as a clerk from June last year until the 31st of March in the present year, when he absconded, after which it was discovered that he had received ♦arious. sums of money for which he had not accounted. There was one very clear case which would render it unneces- I sary to go into any other._ _ _ A person named John Hooper proved that on the 28th of March he paid 10/. to the prisoner on account of Mr. Smith, and produced the receipt given to him by the prisoner. Mr. Smith identified the handwriting of the prisoner, and he was committed for trial. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) The police have received information of the following robberies : Stolen, between the hours of six o'clock on Wednesday night, the 3d instant, and eleven o'clock the following morn ing, from the house of Mr. Blanchard, 9, Staples Inn buildings, Middle-row, Holborn, a small mahogany box, containing a silver watch-guard, two rings of coral beads, a string of garnet beads, a pair of gold ear-rings, four shirt collars, marked " Blanchard" in ink, and a Savings' Bank book. Stolen, on Thursday afternoon, the 4th instant, between two and three o'clock, from the shop-door of Mr. Acutt, linen-draper, Westminster Bridge-road, three pieces of printed cotton, 28 yards in each piece, black ground, and flower pattern. A young man, late in the employ of Mr. Stephen Low, livery-stable keeper, Kingsland, stands charged with steal ing divers sums of money which had been received for, and on account of, his employer. He is about twenty-four years of age, five feet seven inches high, fresh complexion, an I has dark hair and whiskers. He was dressed in a black body coat, dark trousers, and black hat. A paurg man, named Aub , sy Tibbs, late in the employ of Mr. Chowne, surgeon, 48, Hertford -street, May-fair, stands charged with stealing four 5/. Bank of England notes, two silver table spoons, two ditto dinner forks, four ditto desert forks, and three silver tea spoons, a variety of surgeons' instruments, and other valuable articles. It is supposed he intends to proceed to America. John Owen, a journeyman butcher, was charged with stealing a quantity of beef and mutton, value 205., the property of. Mr. Henry Bellringer, 317, Strand, his master, and Frederick Fletcher with receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that Owen was in his service about a week, at a salary of nine shillings a week, with board and lodging. Having lately missed several pieces of meat from his shop, he gave infor mation of the circumstance to the police, and marked the loin of mutton, the shoulder of mutton, and the piece of beef produced. The duty of Owen was to open the shop every morning ; and at six o'clock this morning, having looked out of the window, he saw Ser geant Pocock walking up and down before the door, and he disappeared in a short time after. On coming down stairs he instantly missed the meat produced ; and having called constable Tuck, he gave the prisoner into custody. Pocock deposed, that he concealed himself this ,rnorn ing, at the time in question, near to the shop of the prosecutor ; when he saw the prisoner Fletcher come up to the shop-door, from the direction of Charing-cross. The prisoner Owen had just retired from the door into the shop, and the other went in without anything in his hand ; and after a delay of about two minutes he came out with the basket produced, containing a quantity of meat, and on being taken into custody the hind-quar ter of mutton produced was taken from under his coat, and which had been concealed in a large pocket sufficient to contain nearly half a sheep. The prosecutor's shopman proved that he saw Owen take down the meat, and lay it on a block near the door, with the "long arm," as he was going to Drury-court, to look after his master's horse. The prisoner Owen said the charge preferred against him was perfectly true, and Fletcher said he would reserve his defence for a future occasion. They were both fully committed for trial. mARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.) A Jewish boy, named Gibbons, was placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged kith stealing a valuable cloak, the property of a medical g. ntienian named Rickley. James Jackson said about eight o'clock yesterday evening he was s itting in the window of a public-house, oppos to the Old Green Man and Still, Oxford -street, when he observed tie prisoner and other boys lurking about in a manner that excited his suspicions. In a short time prisoner went over to a phaeton which was standing near the spot, and took from it a cloak, which was thrown on the seat, and ran away very quickly with his companions ; he followed them, and succeeded, after a very violent resistance on the part of the prisoner, in detaining him until et constable came up, when he gave him into custody. Mr. Henry Rickby said the cloak was his property. and he had left it the moment before in his phaeton. while lie ! f, into a shop. Toe prisoner, being unabiL to contradict the evidence, was fully committed for trial. LITERATURE. FRIEND SHIP'S OFFERING. Smith, London, 1838. We noticed the illustrations to this elegant little Annual at some length, a few days since, and have now merely to add that the literary department is as well conducted as usual, containing, among much excellent prose and verse, two clever tales from the pens of Messrs. St. John, and Cornelius Webbe. The .former gentleman's tale, entitled the " Saviour of Naples" is the best thing in the volume. ANNUAL of BRITISH LANDSCAPE SCENERY. Orr, London, 1838. There are not less than twenty engravings in this splendid Annual, which are for the most part, from designs furnished by Fielding, Cox, and Warren. All of them are illustra tive of the landscape scenery of the WTye, and exhibit the picturesque character of that celebrated stream to the greatest advantage. " View from Goodrich Old Court," which does duty as a frontispiece, is a fine panoramic view, ranging over a vast and varied expanse of wood and meadow, bill.and valley, en!ivened With glittering, sinuous streams, and snug, cheerful homesteads, which seem the abodes of peace and contentment. " Chepstow Castle and Bridge over the Wye" is a striking landscape, but we have doubts of its fidelity as a likeness ; for we are ac quainted with the spot, and have no recollection of the spacious, lake-like sheet of water that &limners on the horizon's verge. " The River Wye at Bannagor Crags" is one of the loveliest landscapes that post or painter ever yet imagined in their happiest dreams of beauty. The deep, rapid stream, flows in endless vvindings through a district rich in the wild graces of crag and copse and wa terfall, and reflects the many romantic objects on its high hanks with dazzling fidelity. All is repose and sylvan beauty. " Tintern Abbey" is admirably true to nature, as we ourselves can testify. A more striking ruin than this, .is not to be found even on the boasted banks of the Rhine, which so many of our amafrurs of the picturesque make it a point of fashion to visit, while they neglect our own river landscapes, which are quite equal, and in some respects superior, to those of France, Switzer land, or Germany. " Village of Brockweir, on the River Wye," is a scene of perfect pastoral seclusion, apparently shut out from the rest of the world by a range of breezy uplands, backed-in the farthest distance by lofty foliage-clad mountains. The two maps which illustrate the windings of the Wye are executed with considerable skill and care. The literary department of the work is from the pen of Miss Twansley, whose descriptions have the merit of strict truth and vivacity. This lady is evidently an enthusiastic lover of nature ; is al ways .graphic and imp,ssioned when sketchin, some favourite landscape, such as Piercefield or Tintern ; and occasionally exhibits much amusing quaintness of idea, as, where alluding to a shoal of porpoises . which she en countered half way between the Avon and Chepstow, she observes, "the sight of any animal, however small, sporting and frolicking in the water is pleasant ; but the elephan tine gambols of porpoises are particularly so to me ; their enjoyment is on so large a scale—there is so much them to be happy." The present.season, we suspect, will pro , duce few more entertaining Annuals than the one now be fore us. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORT MOUTH, OCT. 5, 1838. In Harbour—The Britannia, 120, flag ship; Victory, 104, ordinary guard ship ; Excellent, gunnery sh►p ; Royal George yacht ; Messenger, steam transport ; and tenders, Gipsy and Gossamer. . In Dock—Not any thing in commission. In Basin—The Racer, 16, for the West Indies. At SPITIIEAD —The Edinburgh, 74; Pique, 36; Actaeon, 28 ; and Orestes, 18; all, it is supposed, for the Coast of Mexico. ARRIVALS SAILING'S, &c. DURING THE WEEK. On SATURDAY the 29th ult.—Saiied the Pa►,taloon, 10, for the North Coast of Spain. On MONDAY the Ist inst.—The Actaeon, 28, and Orestes, 18, went out of Harbour, and Gipsy tender arrived from the Eastward. On WEDNESDAY the 3d—The Hastings, 74, accompanied by the Meteor, steam-vessel, sailed for Malta, with the Queen Dowager on board. On Wednesday the following gentlemen passed their exa mination in seamanship to serve as Lieutenants in her Ma jesty's naval service:—Messrs. Gerard John Napier, _Henry- Vernon Craven, and Charles Wills Mowll. On the same day passed for gunners, Messrs. Thomas Cooke, William Horn brook, John Rose, John Rance, and Joseph Vincent; and for a Boatswain, Mr. James Mackey. Her Lajesty the Queen Dowager arrived on Wednesday at about 10 minutes past 3. and was received with very gratifying cheers. She alighted in the Dock-yard, and leaning on the arm of our much re respected Commander-in-Chief, Sir Philip Durham, irr,m2- diately embarked on board the Meteor • steam-vessel. All the flag Officers; Captains, and Commanders were in attendance on her Majesty, in full uniform, and the crews of the respective ships both in !:arbour and at Spithead, manned yards, and fired a Royal salute. She got on board the Hastings at a quarter I past 4, and at half-past 5 she started from S!Jithead with a fine breeze from the N. E. The tout ensemble was very good; the arrangements throughout were excellent; and, however much people may talk about reviews in H; de-park, or any ether park, yet to see a squadron of some seven or eight ship., dressed in colours, and manned yards, tire a salute, and then give three of Jack's peculiarly hearty cheers, is a sight that must give greater pleasure (or at least ought to do so), to every lover of this, our sea-girt isle. Would to God the poor navy was a little more thought of, and that those sights were a little more fre- quent. The Ganges, 54, Nlagicienne, 24, and Camelion, 10, are ordered to be commissioned ; and the Britannia strikes the flag to-night, Sir Philip having gone on a visit to Lord Amelius Beauclerc at Plymouth.

Plant out Cabbage-plants of the early kind pretty thick, that they may be thinned out as they enlarge, for winter peens, and leave the remainder to heart. Let this planting be supplied from the seed-beds, taking the strongest, and leaving the others to gain strength for later planting. Hoe and earth up Broeoli, loosening the soil a little all around, and clearing away weeds. Hoe between young Cab. bastes. Savors, &e. Mark some of the finest hearted Cabbages, &c. for seed : take them with their roots entire, and plant them out by them selves, where no other seed of the Cabbage tribe is to be saved ; for the mixture will spoil the sort. Sow Salad Herbs, Radishes, &c. in frames—old Cucumber and Melon beds are good—whenever a constant supply is required. Continue to gather in Onions, drying them before storing. Tulip-growers should now proceed rapidly in arranging their roots for the planting, changing doubtful orfaulty bulbs ; newly arranging el the flowers which were too tall last year for thy. it respective places ; and procuring, by purchase or otherwise, those varieties they require, while growers have their boxes about—the very best time in the worl d to g et a bargain, b,cause the increase is being removed from the bulbs. In ether respects look to psst directions, and do what remains undone. JOE MILLER.—A portrait of this celebrated humourisr, from the otiginal at Strawberry hill, is given in Bentley's Miscellany for the present month, together with a Memoir. This will be welcome•to all readers.
